Anything For Her : Book 1

Classes

Our first class was transfiguration, Hermione and I sat next to each other, Proffesor McGonagall had transformed into a tabby cat after going over the instructions, but Ron and Harry were no where to be seen. I kept writing trying to distract myself from that fact that Harry was missing.

The doors bust open, Harry and Ron running inside. "Whew, we made it, can you imagine the look on McGonagalls face if we were late?" Ron chuckles. "You're about to see." I whisper. The cat jumps from the desk and transforms into Professor McGonagall. Harry and Ron stood there amazed. "That was bloody brilliant." Ron says. "Thank you for that assessment, Mr. Weasley. Perhaps if I were to transfigure Mr. Potter and yourself into a pocket watch, maybe one of you might be on time."

"We got lost" Harry spoke. "Then perhaps a map? I trust you don't need one to find your seats."

Later, we had potions. Inside Snapes classroom, students are chattering, sitting near steaming cauldrons, and it was bright inside due to the windows being open. The door slams open and Snape comes rushing in. "There will be no foolish wand waving or silly incantations in this class. As such, I don't expect many of you to be appreciate the subtle science and exact potion making. However, for those select few" He paused looking at Malfoy, "Who posses the predisposition, I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew flory, and even put a stopper in death. Then again, maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession of abilities so formidable that you feel confident enough, to not..pay..attention" He growls, eyeing Harry down. I nudge Harry, Hermione doing the same, finally Harry looks up.

Snape walks to where he can speak to Harry properly. "Mr. and Miss Potter. Our new..celebrities. Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" Hermione's hand shot up. I was about to speak but Harry shrugged so Snape continued. "You don't know? Well, let's try again. Where, Mr. and Mrs Potter, would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar?" Again, Hermione's hand shot up and Harry responds, "I don't know sir."

"Pity. Clearly, fame isn't everything... is it, Mr. Potter and Mrs. Potter?" He growls. "Clearly Hermione knows. Seems a pity not to ask her." The students around us laughed, I smack Harry across his head, "Silence" Snape said as he walked down. "Put your hand down, you silly girl." He told Hermione, he sat in front of Harry and I. "Please sir, if I can?" I asked. "Go on..Miss Potter."

"Asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful that it's known as the Draught of Living Death. A bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat and it can save you from most poisons. Monkshood and wolfsbane are the same plant, which goes by the name of aconite." He stood up "Well..why aren't you all coping this down?" He glared at me before walking away "Gryffindors, note that 5 points will be taken..for you classmates, cheek." He said as he sat down. "How did you know that?" Harry whispered. "I did some reading last night." I shrugged.

Around midway we sat in the great hall. Every student doing their homework. Seamus is trying a spell on a cup. "Eye of rabbit, harp string hum. Turn this water, into rum." Nothing happened, "Eye of rabbit, harp string hum.." "What's Seamus trying to do to that water?" Harry asks. "Turn it into rum. Actually managed a weak tea yesterday before-" Ron was cut off when a flash occurs. Seamus made the cup exploded and he's left charred. Several students around us laughed while Hermione fans away the smoke with her hand. A flock of owls start coming into the hall.

"Ah, mail's here!" Ron smiles. While everyone else gets parcels and letters, Harry and I just sit here getting nothing. "Can I borrow this?" Harry asks pointing to a newspaper Ron had just put down, Ron nods. "Thanks."

Neville was unwrapping some sort of gift. it's a clear glass ball with a gold banner around it. "Hey look! Neville's got a Remembrall!" Dean says. "I've read about those. When the smoke turns red, it means you've forgotten something." Hermione explains to us. The smoke turned red. "The only problem is, I can't remember what I've forgotten."
"Your robe Neville, you forgot your robe." I tell him.

"Celeste look at this" Harry says showing me the newspaper. "Guys look. Somebody broke into Gringotts, listen. Believed to be the work of dark witches or wizards unknown, Gringotts goblins, while acknowledging the breach, insist that nothing was taken. The vault in question, number 713, had in fact been emptied earlier that same day." Harry explained to us. "That's odd. Thats the same vault Harry and I went into with Hagrid."

We stood outside the castle, Gryffindor and Slytherins, lined up in two rows with brooms on our side. Madam Hooch, our flying teacher comes down the line. "Good afternoon, class. Welcome to your first flying lesson. Well, what are you waiting for? Everyone step up to the left side of their broomstick. Come on now, hurry up! Stick your right hand over the broom and say, up!" Everyone started saying up, but when Harry and I said up, the broom immediately flew into my hand, same with Harry.

Hermione stares at us in disbelief, "Up!" Malfoy yells, the broomstick flies up and Draco grins. Ron yelled it and the broom flew up and hit him in the face. I start laughing at him, "Shut up Celeste."

"Now, once you've gotten a hold of your broom, I want you to mount it. Grip it tightly, you don't want to be sliding off the end." Madam Hooch continues. Everyone mounts on their broomsticks. "When I blow my whistle, I want each of you to kick off from the ground, hard. Keep your broom steady, hover for a moment, then lean forward slightly and touch back down. On my whistle..3..2..." She blows her whistle.

But Neville's broomstick somehow lifts him off the ground. Neville immediately lifts off. "M-M-Mr. Longbottom! Mr. Longbottom! Come back down this instant" Madam Hooch yells. "AHHH!!! Help!!" He yells. He flies uncontrollably in the air, hits a wall, goes up a tower and he zooms past a statue of a man with a sharp spear. His cloak catches on it, then the cloak rips through the spear and he falls to the ground. "Ahhh!" He yelps, "Everyone out of the way! Come on, get up." Madam hooch says calmly.

Hooch begins to lead Neville away. "Everyone's to keep their feet firmly on the ground while I take Mr. Longbottom to the hospital wing. Understand? If I see a single broom in the air, the one riding it will find themselves out of Hogwarts before they can say, Quidditch."

"Did you see his face? Maybe if the fat lump had given this a squeeze, he'd have remembered to fall on his fat arse" Malfoy laughs, picking up Nevilles Remembrall. Harry approaches him, "Give it here Malfoy!"

"No, i think i'll leave it somewhere for Longbottom to find." He hops on his broom and soars around the group. "How 'bout up on the roof?" He soars off and hovers several feet above the ground. "What's the matter, Potter? Bit beyond your reach?" Harry gets on his broom, "Harry no way! You heard what Madam Hooch said! Besides, you don't even know how to fl-" Hermione says. Harry flies off before she got the chance to finish. "What an idiot."

Harry is now in the air. "Give it here Malfoy or I'll knock you off your broom!" He yells. "Is that so?" Malfoy smirks. He moves away and Harry almost falls off his broom. Worried I grabbed my broom and fly up to hear Malfoy. "Have it your way then!" He threw the Remembrall into the air, Harry and I dashed towards, I was ahead of Harry and I caught it! I tossed it to Harry. The two of us flew back down, students cheered for us.
McGonagall appears out of no where. "Celeste and Harry Potter?" Follow me." Harry and I sullenly follow her. Our second day here and we're already getting expelled, great.

We arrive outside Professor Quirrell's classroom, McGonagall interrupts his teaching, "Professor, can I borrow Wood?" "Why y-yes of course." Merlin, I hate his stutter. Wood exits the classroom and I started avoiding eye contact with him. He was very good-looking, in my opinion. Harry gave me a side look that basically told me 'We'll discuss this later.'

"Potter's, this is Oliver Wood. Wood, I have found you a new Seeker and a new Seeker trained!!"

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*
A/N: I added that Celeste has a small crush on Wood because in my opinion he is cute. I know there isn't much Draco interaction going on right now but trust me these there will be a small plot twist that will change everything :)
